So, Jehovah's Witnesses may actually be worshipping a pretty mean bad-ass extraterrestrial from the Pleiades

and he's on his way back to kick some more butt. He's bringing his army of "angels" with him and they are

going to tear this place apart. (Better keep America and her allies strong.....that's all I've got to say. They've

got some pretty bad-ass weapons of their own!)

(I'm just saying this tongue in cheek......I think..I hope.)

The Pleiades are relatively young stars; I don't think there are any evil super beings there. Well indigenous ones anyway...

In a few million years the Pleiades will have drifted apart and be scattered in the galaxy, and no one will remember the crazy ideas of a long dead man and his cult about the significance of a long gone star cluster.

Thanks, it is a good point. For those that don't know the history, here is some info about this old Watchtower teaching.

The Pleiades, also known as The Seven Sisters it is mentioned in the Bible in Job 9:9, Job 38:31 and alluded to in Amos 5:8. The constellation symbol is found on the west tower of the Mormon Temple and was known by the Egyptians as the "Dragon of the Seven Stars."

Seiss taught that the physical construction of the Great Pyramid indicated that Alcyone (the central star in the Pleiades constellation) is at the centre of the universe. Russell took this idea from Seiss and wrote about it in Studies in the Scriptures, Series 3 p. 327. Rutherford continued with the teaching in the 1928 book Reconciliation, and said on page 14:

"The constellation of the seven stars forming the Pleides appears to be the crowning center around which the known systems of the planets revolve even as our sun's planets obey the sun and travel in their respective orbits. It has been suggested, and with much weight, that one of the stars of that group is the dwelling-place of Jehovah and the place of the highest heavens; that it is the place to which the inspired writer referred when he said: "Hear thou from thy dwelling place, even from heaven" (2 Chron. 6:21); and that it is the place to which Job referred when under inspiration he wrote: "Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion?"--Job 38:31. The constellation of the Pleiades is a small one compared with others which scientific instruments disclose to the wondering eyes of man. But the greatness in size of other stars or planets is small when compared with the Pleiades in importance, because the Pleiades is the place of the eternal throne of God."

Mention of Pleiades is also in Creation 1927 p.94.

This teaching was not discontinued until 1953.
